Er....I'm sorry? Ryle was refuted by Foucault? I don't THINK so. Actually Rylean 'behaviourism' is much closer to post-structuralist thought than is say, cognitivism or structuralism. I have changed the article accordingly.

[edit] Ryle's behaviorism
Ryle's logical behaviorism should not be confused with Skinner's psychological (radical) behaviorism, but it is interesting to note that Skinner did profess admiration for Ryle, and it appears that Skinner borrowed some of Ryle's analysis of mentalism (along with Wittgenstein's) in developing his own critique of mentalist psychologies.
